[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4675306 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, the light emitted from the display device is incident on the light-transmitting portion horizontally, and therefore the user finds the light dazzling.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a bathroom vanity that can prevent users from feeling dazzled by light. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve the above problem, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the following bathroom vanity is provided: This bathroom vanity has an opening / closing door that is provided on the front surface and can be opened and closed, and includes a display unit that is provided on the front surface of the opening / closing door to display information to a user of the bathroom vanity, and a light source unit that displays information on the display unit by emitting light when the opening / closing door is closed, the light source unit being provided behind the opening / closing door and emitting the light in a direction forward of the opening / closing door and downward of the bathroom vanity.

[0008] With this configuration, when the opening and closing door is open, the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source unit does not coincide with the user's line of sight, which prevents the user from feeling dazzled by the light.

[0009] In addition, a second aspect of the present invention is a bathroom vanity having an opening and closing door that can be opened and closed on the front, and is equipped with a display unit that is provided on the front of the opening and closing door for displaying information to a user of the bathroom vanity, and a light source unit that displays information on the display unit by irradiating light when the opening and closing door is closed, and is provided behind the opening and closing door, irradiating the light in a direction forward of the opening and closing door and horizontally of the bathroom vanity.

[0010] With this configuration, when the opening and closing door is open, the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source unit does not coincide with the user's line of sight, which prevents the user from feeling dazzled by the light.

[0011] In addition, in a washbasin vanity according to a third aspect of the present invention, the washbasin vanity according to the first or second aspect further comprises a light guiding section provided on the opening / closing door and capable of guiding light emitted from the light source section, and the light guiding section irradiates light that has passed through the light guiding section toward the front of the opening / closing door when the opening / closing door is closed.

[0012] With this configuration, a larger amount of light can be ensured even when the door is closed, compared to when light is not guided to the outside by the light guide section.

[0013] In addition, in a fourth aspect of the bathroom vanity of the present invention, the light-guiding unit changes the optical path of light emitted from the light source unit when the opening and closing door is closed in the bathroom vanity of the third aspect.

[0014] According to this configuration, the light guide section can irradiate light to the outside from any position depending on its configuration.

[0015] A bathroom vanity according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the bathroom vanity according to the fourth aspect, wherein the light guide section is provided along a surface of the opening and closing door.

[0016] According to this configuration, the light guide section can be provided by processing the surface portion of the opening and closing door, which is easier to process than when it is necessary to process the inside of the opening and closing door.

[0017] In addition, in a bathroom vanity according to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the bathroom vanity according to the third to fifth aspects, the opening and closing door has a mirror, and the display unit is provided in a position different from the mirror.

[0018] With this configuration, compared to when light is irradiated from the mirror onto the front side of the opening and closing door, there is no need for pre-processing to provide a part in the mirror that allows light from behind to pass through, which makes it possible to reduce costs.

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. To facilitate understanding of the description, the same components in the drawings will be denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0022] ---First embodiment--- First, the bathroom vanity according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0023] <Overall structure> FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a bathroom vanity 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom vanity 1 includes a support base 10, a washbasin 20, a faucet device 30, and a mirror cabinet 40. In this specification, the direction in which a user using the bathroom vanity 1 is positioned relative to the bathroom vanity 1 is referred to as the "front" direction. The opposite direction of the "front" direction is referred to as the "rear" direction. When a user looks at the bathroom vanity 1, the side facing the floor F is referred to as the "down" direction, and the opposite direction is referred to as the "up" direction. When a user looks at the bathroom vanity 1, the horizontal right-hand side is referred to as the "right" direction, and when a user looks at the bathroom vanity 1, the horizontal left-hand side is referred to as the "left" direction.

[0025] The support base 10 is placed on the floor F of a room such as a bathroom or a dressing room. The support base 10 supports a washbasin 20. The support base 10 has, for example, a main body 10a and a drawer 10b. The main body 10a is, for example, in the shape of a roughly rectangular parallelepiped open box with openings at the front and top. The upper opening of the main body 10a is closed by the washbasin 20. At least a portion of the bowl portion 22 enters the main body 10a through the upper opening. The drawer 10b is also in the shape of a roughly rectangular parallelepiped open box with an opening at the top. The drawer 10b is supported by the main body 10a so as to be movable forward and backward, and moves between a stored position (the position shown in FIG. 1) stored within the main body 10a and a drawn-out position pulled out forward from the main body 10a. When in the stored position, the drawer 10b blocks the front opening of the main body 10a. When the drawer 10b is in the pulled-out position, it is possible to store items inside.

[0026] The washbasin 20 is placed on the support base 10. The washbasin 20 has a bowl portion 22 and a back guard portion 24. The bowl portion 22 is formed in a concave shape that is recessed downward. A drain outlet 26 is provided at the bottom of the bowl portion 22. The drain outlet 26 is connected to a drain pipe (not shown), and water discharged into the bowl portion 22 flows into the drain pipe. The shape of the washbasin 20 may be any shape that has at least the bowl portion 22. The back guard portion 24 extends upward from the rear end of the bowl portion 22. The back guard portion 24 is provided as needed and can be omitted.

[0027] The faucet device 30 is located above the washbasin 20, between the back guard portion 24 and the cabinet 42. The faucet device 30 is attached directly or indirectly to the wall W of the building frame using fastening members such as bolts. The faucet device 30 includes a unit case 32, a water discharge portion 34, and a flow rate adjustment lever 36. The unit case 32 forms the outer shell of the faucet device 30. Electrical components (not shown) are housed inside the unit case 32. This electrical component houses a control unit for an automatic faucet that discharges hot and cold water from the water discharge portion 34 when, for example, a sensor detects a hand. The electrical component also houses a control unit that controls the water discharge temperature display function, automatic water disposal function, functional water (sterilized water) production function, and various other functions. The base end of the water discharge portion 34 is built into the unit case 32, and the tip end protrudes diagonally downward toward the front. The water outlet 34 discharges hot water and cold water toward the bowl 22. The base end of the flow rate adjustment lever 36 is connected to an on-off valve, and the tip end thereof protrudes downward from the unit case 32. When the flow rate adjustment lever 36 is operated to open the on-off valve, hot water can be discharged from the water outlet 34.

[0028] The mirror cabinet 40 is disposed above the support base 10 via the faucet device 30. The mirror cabinet 40 is attached to, for example, a wall W of the building frame using fixing members such as bolts. However, the mirror cabinet 40 may also be attached to and supported by a support body other than the wall W (for example, a separately provided counter, panel, or support base 10). The mirror cabinet 40 includes a cabinet 42 and three opening / closing doors 44, 46, and 48. The cabinet 42 is formed in a box-like shape with an open front and has, for example, multiple shelves (not shown) provided inside. This allows the cabinet 42 to store toiletries such as lotion, razors, and toothbrushes. In other words, the cabinet 42 is the upper cabinet of the bathroom vanity 1. A bottom surface 42a of the cabinet 42 covers the upper side of the faucet device 30. The opening / closing doors 44, 46, and 48 are supported by the cabinet 42 and are provided on the front surface of the cabinet 42 in an openable and closable manner. Three mirrors 45, 47, 49 are provided on the front (front) of each of the doors 44, 46, 48. The number of doors provided in the mirror cabinet 40 is not limited to three, and may be one, two, or four or more.

[0029] <Detailed configuration> FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the lower part of the mirror cabinet 40 seen from the right side when the door 48 shown in FIG. 1 is closed.

[0030] 2, the mirror cabinet 40 has a mirror 49, a back panel 50, a frame 52, a display device 54, a shielding portion 58, a light-guiding portion 60, a light-transmitting portion 62, and a display portion 64. S indicates the line of sight of a user of the bathroom vanity 1. The side in front of the opening / closing door 48 is the front side, and the side behind the opening / closing door 48 is the back side.

[0031] The mirror 49 has a transparent glass 492 on the front side of the opening and closing door 48, and is configured by coating the back side of the glass 492 with silver or the like to form a reflective film 494.

[0032] The back panel 50 is the back panel of the opening and closing door 48 and is provided on the back side of the mirror 49.

[0033] The frame 52 is a lower frame provided on the door 48 to protect the mirror 49. The frame 52 covers a part of the front of the door 48, a part below the door 48, and a part of the rear of the door 48.

[0034] The display device 54 has a light source unit 56. The display device 54 and the light source unit 56 are provided inside the cabinet 42. The display device 54 and the light source unit 56 are also provided behind the opening and closing door 48. The display device 54 is configured to emit light from the light source unit 56 and to display information for operating various functions such as hot and cold water discharge control and temperature control by light. The display device 54 may also be configured to display information such as a weather forecast, text news, or the time. The display device 54 has a substantially rectangular shape. An electric wire (not shown) is connected to the display device 54, and the other end of the electric wire is connected to a control unit (not shown). The display device 54 may also be connected to the control unit wirelessly.

[0035] The light source unit 56 is provided in front of and below the display device 54. The light source unit 56 emits light in front of the opening and closing door 48 and below the bathroom vanity unit 1. The light source unit 56 is, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode), which allows it to emit directional light.

[0036] The shielding portion 58 is a part of the front of the cabinet 42. The shielding portion 58 is provided in contact with the front of the display device 54, and is located in front of a part of the light source portion 56. The shielding portion 58 blocks a part of the light emitted from the light source portion 56.

[0037] The light guide unit 60 is provided inside the opening / closing door 48, extending from the back side to the front side of the opening / closing door 48. The light guide unit 60 is provided at a position separated from the light source unit 56. The light guide unit 60 has a light guide plate 61. The light guide plate 61 is disposed inside the light guide unit 60. The light guide plate 61 can change the optical path of light. The light guide plate 61 is made of, for example, acrylic resin. The light guide unit 60 is, for example, a hole cut out of the back plate unit 50. When the opening / closing door 48 is closed, the light guide plate 61 of the light guide unit 60 changes the optical path of the light by reflecting, bending, diffusing, or the like, the light irradiated from the light source unit 56 diagonally downward. The light guide unit 60 changes the optical path of the light irradiated from the light source unit 56 to a horizontal optical path and guides the light toward the light-transmitting unit 62.

[0038] The light-transmitting portion 62 is provided in a part of the mirror 49. The light-transmitting portion 62 is a portion that can transmit light from behind the mirror 49. The light-transmitting portion 62 is formed, for example, by silver removal processing, in which a part of the reflective film 494 is removed by etching. The light whose optical path has been changed by the light-guiding portion 60 passes through the light-transmitting portion 62 toward the display portion 64.

[0039] The display unit 64 is provided on the front surface of the opening / closing door 48 and is a section that displays information to the user of the bathroom vanity 1. Specifically, the display unit 64 is a part of the front surface of the opening / closing door 48 that is located in front of the light-transmitting section 62. The display unit 64 displays information by being irradiated with light that is emitted from the light source unit 56 and passes through the light-guiding section 60. In this way, the light irradiated from the light source unit 56 is guided by the light-guiding section 60, so that information can be displayed to the user with a sufficient amount of light even when the opening / closing door 48 is closed.

[0040] The viewing position 66 is a position on the front side of the opening and closing door 48 when the opening and closing door 48 is closed. Light emitted from the light source unit 56 and passed through the display unit 64 is viewed by the user at the viewing position 66.

[0041] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the lower part of the mirror cabinet 40 seen from the right side when the door 48 shown in FIG. 1 is open.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 3, the light source unit 56 emits light toward the front of the bathroom vanity 1 and downward in the height direction of the bathroom vanity 1. By misaligning the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source unit 56 with the user's line of sight S in this way, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling dazzled by the light, even when the opening / closing door 48 is open. The light source unit 56 may also emit light in one direction in front of the opening / closing door 48 and horizontally of the bathroom vanity 1. In other words, the light source unit 56 is configured so that the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source unit 56 is misaligned with the user's line of sight S.

[0043] The light emitted by the light source unit 56 is viewed by the user at a viewing position 66 .

[0044] When the opening / closing door 48 is open, the shielding portion 58 can shield at least a portion of the light emitted from the light source portion 56 that is directed in a direction that overlaps with the user's line of sight S. The direction that overlaps with the user's line of sight S is, for example, above the bathroom vanity 1. This can further reduce the user's perception of the light as being dazzling, compared to when the shielding portion 58 is not provided.

[0045] <Action and effect> As described above, the bathroom vanity 1 of this embodiment is a bathroom vanity 1 equipped with an opening / closing door 48 that can be opened and closed on the front, and is equipped with a display unit 64 that is installed on the front of the opening / closing door 48 and is used to display information to users of the bathroom vanity 1, and a light source unit 56 that displays information on the display unit 64 by emitting light when the opening / closing door 48 is closed, and is installed behind the opening / closing door 48 and emitting light toward the front of the opening / closing door 48 and below the bathroom vanity 1.

[0046] With this configuration, when the opening / closing door 48 is open, the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source unit 56 is misaligned with the user's line of sight S, which prevents the user from feeling dazzled by the light, compared to when the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source overlaps with the user's line of sight S.

[0047] In addition, the bathroom vanity 1 may be equipped with an opening / closing door 48 that can be opened and closed on the front, a display unit 64 that is provided on the front of the opening / closing door 48 and that displays information to users of the bathroom vanity 1, and a light source unit 56 that displays information on the display unit 64 by irradiating light when the opening / closing door 48 is closed, and that is provided behind the opening / closing door 48 and that irradiates light in one direction forward of the opening / closing door 48 and horizontally of the bathroom vanity 1.

[0048] With this configuration, when the opening / closing door 48 is open, the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source unit 56 is misaligned with the user's line of sight S, which prevents the user from feeling dazzled by the light, compared to when the main optical axis of the light emitted from the light source overlaps with the user's line of sight S.

[0049] In addition, the washbasin vanity 1 further includes a light guide section 60 provided on the opening / closing door 48 and capable of guiding light emitted from the light source section 56, and the light guide section 60 irradiates light that passes through the light guide section 60 in front of the opening / closing door 48 when the opening / closing door 48 is closed.

[0050] According to this configuration, a larger amount of light can be ensured even when the opening and closing door 48 is closed, compared to when light is not guided to the outside by the light guide portion 60.

[0051] Furthermore, in the bathroom vanity 1, the light guide unit 60 changes the optical path of the light emitted from the light source unit 56 when the opening and closing door 48 is closed.

[0052] According to this configuration, light guide section 60 can irradiate light to the outside from any position depending on its configuration.

[0053] ---Second embodiment--- Next, a bathroom vanity according to a second embodiment will be described.

[0054] In the second embodiment, the configuration of the mirror cabinet 40A is different from that of the first embodiment. Note that a description of the same points as in the first embodiment will be omitted. Also, the second embodiment can be combined with the first embodiment.

[0055] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the lower part of a mirror cabinet 40A according to the second embodiment, viewed from the right.

[0056] 4, the frame 52 has a display hole 65. The light guide unit 60 is provided along the rear surface and the lower surface of the opening and closing door 48. The light guide unit 60 can be provided on the opening and closing door 48 by processing the surface portion of the opening and closing door 48.

[0057] 4 changes the optical path of light emitted diagonally downward from light source 56 to an optical path that follows opening / closing door 48, and guides the light toward display hole 65. At this time, the light passing through light guide 60 passes below the position where mirror 49 is provided. In other words, the light passing through light guide 60 goes toward display hole 65, bypassing mirror 49.

[0058] The display hole 65 is a hole provided in the lower part of the frame 52. The light that has passed through the light guide section 60 passes through the display hole 65 toward the display section 64.

[0059] The display unit 64 is provided on the front surface of the door 48 and is a section for displaying information to the user of the bathroom vanity 1. Specifically, the display unit 64 is a section on the front surface of the door 48 located in front of the display hole 65. The display unit 64 displays information by receiving light that is emitted from the light source unit 56 and passes through the light guide unit 60. In this manner, the light that passes through the light guide unit 60 is irradiated onto the front side of the door 48 from a position different from that of the mirror 49. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mirror 49 does not need to be provided with a translucent portion 62, for example, by silver-cutting. Furthermore, because the mirror 49 has a uniform structure without a translucent portion 62, the design of the bathroom vanity 1 is improved.

[0060] Light emitted from the light source unit 56 and passing through the display unit 64 is viewed by the user at a viewing position 66 .

[0061] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the light guide unit 60 shown in FIG.

[0062] 5, the light guiding unit 60 has an attachment portion 59. The light guiding unit 60 is attached to the opening and closing door 48 by the attachment portion 59. Specifically, the light guiding unit 60 is attached to the opening and closing door 48 by screwing the attachment portion 59 to the opening and closing door 48 on the rear surface of the opening and closing door 48.

[0063] The light guide 60 includes light guides 60a, 60b, 60c, 60d, 60e, and 60f. Light enters the light guide 60 from the light guide 60a, passes through the light guides 60a and 60b, and is guided downward as a whole. The light then passes through the light guide 60c, passes through the light guide 60d, and is guided forward as a whole. The light then passes through the light guide 60e, and is focused by the light guide 60f and directed toward the front side of the door 48 through the display hole 65. The light guide 60 thus changes the optical path of the light so that the light passes along the rear and lower surfaces of the door 48.

[0064] <Action and effect> As described above, in the bathroom vanity unit 1 according to this embodiment, the light guide section 60 is provided along the surface of the opening and closing door 48.

[0065] According to this configuration, the light guide section 60 can be provided by processing the surface portion of the opening and closing door 48, which is easier to process than when it is necessary to process the inside of the opening and closing door 48.

[0066] The door 48 also has a mirror 49, and the display unit 64 is provided at a position different from the mirror 49.

[0067] With this configuration, compared to when light is irradiated from the position of the mirror 49 to the front of the opening and closing door 48, pre-processing to provide a light-transmitting portion on the mirror 49 is not required, which makes it possible to reduce costs.

[0068] ---Variations--- The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. In other words, designs that are produced by those skilled in the art with appropriate design modifications to the above-described specific examples are also included within the scope of the present invention as long as they include the features of the present invention. Furthermore, the elements of the above-described embodiments and the following modifications can be combined to the extent technically possible, and such combinations are also included within the scope of the present invention as long as they include the features of the present invention.

[0069] For example, in the first embodiment, the light guide unit 60 has the light guide plate 61, but the light guide unit 60 may not have the light guide plate 61.

[0070] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the lower part of a mirror cabinet 40B according to a modified example, as viewed from the right.

[0071] 6, the light guide unit 60 does not have a light guide plate 61. Light that is irradiated by the light source unit 56 and passes through the light guide unit 60 passes through the light-transmitting unit 62 and then passes toward the display unit 64. The light that has passed through the display unit 64 is viewed by the user at a viewing position 66. In addition, at this time, the display unit 64 is a portion through which the light irradiated from the light source unit 56 passes in front of the opening and closing door 48.

[0072] In the first and second embodiments, the light guiding unit 60 has been described as having a configuration in which the light path of light is changed by the light guiding plate 61, but the method for changing the light path of light is not limited to this. For example, the light path of light may be changed by any method, such as a reflecting mirror or a lens.

[0073] The door 48 may be opened and closed by any method. For example, the door 48 may be a hinged door, in which a hinge is provided at one end and the door 48 can be rotated around the hinge. The door 48 may be a sliding door, in which the door 48 is opened and closed by sliding horizontally or vertically. The door 48 may be a folding door, in which the door 48 is opened and closed by folding.

[0074] In addition, in the first and second embodiments, a configuration in which the display device 54 is provided behind the opening and closing door 48 has been described as an example, but the display device 54 may be provided behind the opening and closing door 44 or the opening and closing door 46. In addition, the light guiding unit 60 may also be provided behind the opening and closing door 44 or the opening and closing door 46.

[0075] Furthermore, the light source unit 56 is not limited to an LED, and may be, for example, a light-emitting element capable of emitting directional light, such as a laser diode or optical fiber, or a light-emitting element capable of emitting non-directional light, such as a fluorescent lamp or halogen lamp. When the light source unit 56 is a light-emitting element having no directionality, the shielding unit 58 can better block light that is directed in a direction that overlaps with the user's line of sight S when the opening / closing door 48 is open.

[0076] Mirror 49 may also be formed in a triple structure in which a half mirror film is formed on glass 492 and a masking film is attached to the back side of the half mirror film. In this case, light-transmitting portion 52 can be formed by hollowing out the masking film.

[0077] Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments, the shielding portion 58 is a part of the cabinet 42, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the shielding portion 58 may be a separate member that is detachably attached to the cabinet 42. Furthermore, the shielding portion 58 may be configured so that its length in the height direction is adjustable, and so that the degree of blocking of the light emitted from the light source unit 56 is adjustable.

[0078] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the light guide unit 60 is provided along the rear surface and the lower surface of the door 48, but the arrangement of the light guide unit 60 is not limited to this. For example, the light guide unit 60 may be provided along the rear surface and either the left or right side surface of the door 48. In this case, the indicator hole 65 is provided on either the left or right side surface of the frame 52, rather than the lower portion of the frame 52, and light is emitted to the outside from the indicator hole 65 provided on the side surface of the frame 52. In this way, the light guide unit 60, due to its configuration, can emit light to the outside of the bathroom vanity 1 from any position. Furthermore, the light guide unit 60, due to its configuration, can emit light to the outside of the bathroom vanity 1 from any position that does not have a mirror 49.

[0079] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the light guiding unit 60 is attached to the opening / closing door 48 by the attachment unit 59 as an example, but the configuration of the light guiding unit 60 is not limited to this.
